Hi All.

Please can anyone post a line by line action to add the Libre
Pilot repository to MinGW. I wish to try and add an external compass and I think I have understood all the action except this one!

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I saw this on the relevant page in the link however, it may be trivial, but exactly what do I enter after $ in minGW to allow this to happen. I have also tried the "clone git https://bitbucket" command line as shown in the tutorial but this fails to be reconised by the command line!

Thanks

Lyn.

With your favorite file editor open the file <msys2 install dir>/etc/pacman.conf and add the 3 lines at the end of that file.

Save file.

From a fresh MSYS shell, run the command "pacman -Sy".
It should now list the librepilot repo:

$ pacman -Sy
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 mingw32 is up to date
 mingw64 is up to date
 msys is up to date
 librepilot-mingw is up to date

Ah. Now it becomes clear

Cheers

Hi all.
Still struggling with this. I am, I think, nearly there however I am getting an error on "make".
I have successfully installed the commands -"S --needed and all the commands like "toolchain, ccache, sdl, mesa" etc. But when I enter "$ mingw32-make all_sdk_install" I get the output "command not found"
Again any help would be appreciated please.

Lyn.

I got the same when I start wrong shell. E.g. Msys2 instead of MinGW-w64, or if you have 32 bit Win - MinGW-w32.

[johnstorm]

Thanks for the reply. But this what I input and what I get returned!

 MINGW32 ~/librepilot
$ mingw32-make package
-bash: mingw32-make: command not found

If the command isn't found then you probably missed or mistyped something installing the development environment.

Your best bet would be to delete the installation and do it again.  I always suggest (and do myself) cut and pasting each line of commands one by one since it's hard to type long (240 characters in one case) commands without any typos.

[johnstorm]

Thanks I will do that.
I can imagine how easy it would be to miss something.
However I know only too well the risk of typo's so I can confirm I copied and pasted the installation I am failing with

As hwh suggested I built "next" from scratch. I am pleased with the result  . I now have ext. mag working on the bench! The only small issue I am hoping someone will kindly advise on is, during the downloads minGW failed to find the "gdal - minimal" code.  I installed and compiled without it, just to " see what happens". As I said above I am pleased with the result except the GCS now has no PDF option! I am assuming this is because "gdal - minimal" failed to be downloaded and install. If anyone can advise a "work around" it would be very helpful, As PFD is important for me.

Cheers Lyn.
